Annex Project
|
The primary collection management issues
for Tehama County Museum are the lack of environmental controls
and appropriate security for exhibitions and storage. While items
are displayed and stored using acid-free materials and U/V filters,
there are no temperature, humidity, or sufficient lighting controls
in this 1800's building. Security is minimal. Recognizing the prohibitive
cost to update the building, as well as its size and configuration
limitations, several Board members took the initiative to construct
a new, museum-appropriate, building. The Annex Building is currently
enclosed with interior work continuing as funds become available.
The vision and commitment to accomplish this museum building is
extraordinary. It will provide for flexible exhibition space, a
meeting room, and storage with environmental controls and security
appropriate to museum collections. This will enable TCM to meet
the requirements to borrow objects to enhance their collections,
or host traveling exhibitions from other museums. |
